• Resumen

  • The article explores the reasons that fewer women than men pursue tenured employment in science. The author argues that motherhood, not discrimination, is the primary factor why men outnumber women in science- and mathematics-related tenure positions at U.S. universities. She notes that women have had to fight sex discrimination, but that research suggests the real issue is an inability to tackle the job demands of an academic career and family responsibilities simultaneously.
